The major issues of Gender Discrimination are seen at the work environments and everyone has to know this particular issue is a serious form of Employment Discrimination. Gender Discrimination is considered as one of the serious illegal and injustice forms with respect to most of the countries worldwide.

The portrayal of women in the Middle East, specifically in Pakistan, women face discrimination on a regular basis and struggle to obtain equal rights in comparison to men in Pakistan. Some of the reasons women are oppressed in Pakistan because of the dominance and control men have over women. Since the government doesn’t utilize the opportunity to protect women and uses religious defenses as an excuse to treat women poorly, women continue to be treated like second class citizens. Oppression of Women in Pakistan began after independence in 1947 and continues to negatively impact women today. Women face inequality in being protected by the government, unequal education, and political representation.

Pakistan Culture and Gender Roles Gender roles in Pakistan are completely segregated and unequal. Women have no rights in Pakistan and are looked down on from the day of birth. The women are required to be subordinate to men and the Pakistani’s family honor relies on the woman’s obedience. The women of Pakistan naturally adopt the role of being the primary caretaker for the family. The Muslim faith has a significant influence on decision making and roles males and females must have.

CHAPTER ONE 1.0 Introduction A decade ago, there have been noticing an increase on awareness of sexual harassment at workplace, since the rising of sexual harassment practice at workplace. The rise of sexual harassment begun as females enters the workforce. A research conducted at UK, shows that around 60% of females at work and 90% of female undergraduates experiences sexual harassment (Wilson, 1995) Despite that, there are many cases of female who do not report on sexual harassment (Davidson and Cooper, 1993; Kingsmill, 1989) Known that workplace have become “home” for most working class, in terms of hours spent in a day, it’s now significant to create an encouraging environment for male and female employees. Therefore, any forms of

Gender Gap Gender discrimination has always been one of the most re-surfaced topics over decades when the big umbrella topic of Employment relations is brought up. For hundreds of years, women have taken one of the hardest challenges in life, to be recognised equally against men. For centuries, women were not given the same rights as men, nor were

Kyle Eagleston Professor Brogan PE-100 12/10/2017 Title IX People are constantly making mistakes and avoiding certain responsibilities. Mainly minor responsibilities can be avoided and unanswered, but major ones need to be questioned and brought to attention in order for them to be dealt with. Sex discrimination is one of those mistakes that people are constantly making. It isn’t happening as much as it used to in the past, but it is still occurring in our education system, employment, housing, and even in something as small as credit. There are large episodes in past time that we are able to track down and see examples of sex discrimination towards females, especially in education. From as early as birth, women are being discriminated against just because they are supposedly inferior to men. This was all put to a stop when Title IX was formed. Title IX’s main objective is “to protect people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive Federal financial assistance. The motto that we follow is “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance”.

Gender discrimination become one of serious disease in our society, and it is still increasing around the world. We easily see inequality in gender in our everyday lives such as at home, workplace, and school. However, we can’t solve this problem because in our natural law the men go out side to work, and the women stay home take care of their children. Therefore, in some developing countries, most of families invest on the male rather than the female. For instance, the male has more opportunities to go to school, the female must stay home to take care of families. Families invest more on their sons because “households without sons are more likely to participate in the pension program” (Jayachandran, 2014, p. 12). Some Asian families are more likely to have more son because they think that “raising a daughter is like watering your neighbors’ garden,” and raising a daughter as “ploughing someone else’s field” (Jayachandran, 2014, p. 11). Therefore, the female is still treated badly in some countries. In 1991, Crow Dog and Erdoes reported, “Her sister in law, Delphine, a good woman who had lived a hard life, was also found dead in the snow, the tear frozen on her face. A drunken man had beaten her, breaking one of her arms and legs, leaving her helpless in a blizzard to die” (p. 4). Indian women are not respect from people in their community such as Crow Dog’s sister was forced to sterilize even she did not want it. In addition, Crow Dog was hit many times because she held a

Systemic prejudice against women of colour limits them from obtaining jobs for which they are qualified. Sexism is a result of the historical discrimination against women in the workplace stemming from the patriarchy. Patriarchal systems were in place and continue to be dominant in many societies across the world, and

Half of the workforce is women, yet why are incidents of gender discrimination still prevalent? Whether in terms of hiring, work pay, job classification, or benefits, it is common for women to encounter discrimination in the work force. Like men, women receive graduate degrees and exhibit competent working behaviors, yet reports have shown that women earn less than men, working in the same job positions. Research has presented that “In 2015, female full-time, year round workers made only 80 cents for every dollar earned by men, a gender wage gap of 20 percent” (Pay Equity & Discrimination). Working in comparison to men, women are often degraded for their work efforts. Although much progress has exhibited women entering the workforces of “masculine” jobs, statistics still present little significant progression against gender discrimination.

Gender Discrimination Do you know what it is like to be discriminated? Do you know how it feels when you did not get the job, part, or opportunity just for being who you are? Discrimination is the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people, or things, especially on

Gender Discrimination in The Workplace Gender inequality in the workplace is still a reality in 2017. Year after year we receive and look at figures who confirm that much more should be done to ensure that women and men have equal access to the labor market. For a long time, the society has been suppressing women’s rights, and men are seen as figures of leadership in most countries. Although the rates of discrimination have reduced over the years, women still face major issues like sexual harassment and pay discrimination.

In today’s society, we are faced with many challenges in the workforce. It can be as simple as the initial trial of finding a job, or getting along with our coworkers. Not many individuals are jumping at the opportunity to complain about work, since our economy is continuously going through up’s and down’s as is. Once we finish our education and are out in the “real world”, our expectations conclude that people have reached maturity, and that stereotyping and discrimination cease to exist. But it is from my own personal experience that I have found this is in fact, not the case, and that harassment in the workplace is a very real issue. Primarily, I am researching the way media portrays gender-biases in the workplace, and why they are relevant. Additionally, I am looking at which occupations might lead to higher levels of emotional stress related to gender inequality for women, and to what historical events or patterns may have manifested these inequalities. My goal is to provide specific examples of sexism towards women in the workplace, and I will be demonstrating how feminist theorists discuss the topic of inequality at work.

Gender bias, also known as sexism, is a full of attitudes, laws, taboos, preferences, and behaviors that differentiates and discriminates against either sex. These may be a position of which male dominance and female subjugation in the modern society. It could also be a form of sexual stereotypes between men

Women in Pakistan Women in Pakistan are more likely to face system subordination, where patriarchal values are embedded in local traditions and culture. Due to the interconnection of gender with other forms of exclusion in the society, the role and status of women cannot be considered homogenous. There is a great deal of diversity in the status of women across regions, classes, the rural/urban divide caused by the lack of socio-economic development and the impact of feudal, tribal, and capitalist social formations in women’s lives.
